What do your meals look like (show me pictures)....

Christ, can you let me have a recipe for those please? My sons are coming to stay for a couple of days (15 and 12), and I'm trying to teach them to cook something new every time they do ... that would be perfect ... thanks!

Chorizo, potato and manchego empanadas

Super easy,

If you don't feel like making the dough from scratch, just get some frozen empanada dough made by Goya, should be in your frozen foods section. After they thaw, I like to roll them out a tad thinner to fit more stuff in them.

Small dice some potatoes and chorizo (spanish chorizo, which is a hard sausage vs a mexican chorizo. I'm sure you could use either one though), heat up a pan with some duck fat or cooking oil of your choice and throw in your potatoes, season with salt. Just as the potatoes are cooked all the way throw and starting to brown, throw in chorizo and let that get crisp and the potatoes will finish browning.

Set aside filling and let cool for a bit

grate some manchego, set aside

take a little bit of the filling and cheese and place it in the middle of the dough, fold over the dough and seal with some water on your fingertip. After that, braid it, google repulgue for some videos.

After finishing all of them, you can either bake @ 375 or deep fry, if you bake them wash them with a little egg wash. Fry or bake till golden brown and serve
